Implicate Explicate vinyl

The latest release from We Can Elude Control, the label run by Emptyset's Paul Purgas, sees more modular synth explorations, this time from the collaboration of New York sonic artist and filmmaker Rose Kallal, and Mark O Pilkington, founder of "cult esoterica" publishers Strange Attractor. Originally produced as the sound track to Kallal's 16mm film of the same name, "Implicate Explicate" is a hypnotic series of waves and pulses that undulate with all the out of focus texture of a warped negative. The accompanying remixes put their own spin on things; Ekoplekz delivers a surprisingly beat-centric version, which nevertheless is as odd as everything else his does, while TVO creates a hypnotic slice of techno whose broken dubbiness makes it almost sounds like a lost Livity Sound cut. Paul Purgas finishes things off with a suitably grizzled version that sands off the original's smoother edges.
